Palin is dragging her kids all over the country with her. Just imagine if she became the VP and was dragging her kids all over the world and winking at all these world leaders. We would be at was with the wives of world leaders.

This woman is an AIR HEAD. I was raised to believe GOD is perfect but when I see Palin I wonder. I do not wish to doubt GOD but the proof is in the puddin and if that is not enough proof, look at her number two on the ticket. He is not much better.

She says Obama has no middle ground? She who believes a woman should have to carry a child even in cases of rape or incest? She who believes that because a choice is right for her daughter, everyone else must make the same choice? She who can only see black and white?

Hey Sarah, Obama is not twisting anyone's arm to make them have an abortion, well at least not to my knowledge. Did you on the other hand receive a memo or order from he and Joe Biden that said your loose Morals Daughter who has found herself 17 and knocked up has to report to a clinic immediately to get a government ordered abortion???

What a disgusting, dishonest, lying sack of Hockey Mom Manure you have turned out to be... Please do the people a favor and admit that you abused your powers as a Governor of "The Largest State" in the union...

Open comment to Sarah Palin, "You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting".

Please return home to Alaska so you can read ALL of the newspapers and look over at Russia and wait for Putin to rear his head so that you and you alone can save our country from certain invasion.

Here's the problem with this: the Supreme Court has the votes to act now and demonstrated it earlier this year in upholding the partial birth abortion ban of 2003(with Alito and Roberts providing the crucial votes needed.) The only reasons why Roe v. Wade is still the law are either a. So called "prolife" candidates don't have the courage to press the issue in their legislatures and let it be challenged or b. Those same so called "pro life" candidates have broken faith with their base and started playing politics with the lives of the unborn. The reasons why I think they have broken faith and are playing politics with the lives of the unborn include the fact that without this issue, the so called "pro life" candidates would not have a rally point to fire up their base and would have 1 less reason to use for fund raising. Lets talk real "pro life" to include reducing abortion as well as funding education and focusing on jobs, healthcare and other quality of life after birth issues also. The only candidate doing that this year is Barack Obama.

Oh sure, his ideas are "radical, absolutely radical." Please. Upholding a woman's right to the privacy of her own body is radical? What could he be thinking??!! Maybe he's actually thinking logically and humanely. Besides, with her and McCain supporting the ridiculous "abstinance only" education on birth control, that will only increase the numbers of unwanted pregnancies, hence more abortions. The number of teen pregnancies overall has increased the past 2 or 3 years at least under those policies You can't start at the end result, you have to start at the BEGINNING, with getting pregnant in the first place! You need to educate teens and young adults on their bodies and birth control. Even if you want to compare it to illegal drug usage. You can't only tell kids "don't do it." You have to educate them about what the drugs will do and how it will impact their lives. It's the same thing with getting pregnant. That will impact your entire life, whether it's for the good or bad, and whether or not you are married. Another problem with abstinence only teaching is that just because you get married, that doesn't mean that you want children right away or an unlimited number of them. Married people need to understand their bodies and birth control options too. C'mon, think! Hope, not fear. GObama '08!

Have anyone of you ever looked up a picture of a fetus that is only eight weeks old? Please do that and then say to yourself that it is OK to suck the brains out of this living human being!!!! I don't think that Sarah Palin or John Mccain rules out all situations concerning abortion, just the most obvious–using it as a form of birth control.
Also you people that call her stupid, couldn't be more wrong. She is so smart that she frightens you. She is not an embarrasment to me, she represents honesty and hope for our future. As far as Trooper gate goes, Trooper Wooten was interviewed on TV and he said that he did taser his stepson. He also said that he was young and made a lot of mistakes, but he just wants to go on with his life and leave all of this behind. He said that Sarah Palin would be good for the GOP ticket. So do you all think that tasing a 10 year old is OK?? Shouldn't he have been fired??? This was a very dangerous thing to do and could have resulted in death to this child.

Palin is such a pain! Every day she is coming out with a sideline issue other than what is happening now (-economy- Remember her answer on the bailout?!!!)and basic things that Americans care about like health care and education. She should be the last one to discuss abortion giver her extreme opinion/views on a woman's right to chose in case of rape and incest.

Mrs. Palin abortin is not an issue this time. You are a total failure. For McCain to nominate you because of disappointed Clinton supporters is the biggest mistake he has made in life. I know he will acknowledge that one day. Go back to Alaska and face the panel and possibly your impeachment for abuse of power.

It's interesting that she's gone from terrorism to abortion. She's not smart enough I guess to know that this is not an election topic she can win as it is a fringe issue. Did she spend any time defending her violation of Alaska ethics laws? She has no ethics but can slam Obama on his?

The lies continue. Great.

No, actually, "radicals" on abortion are the people who think women who were raped should be forced to carry out their pregnancy, then pull funding for rape victims in the state with the highest rape rate in the nation.

You, ma'am, are pure, unfiltered scum.

Palin has obviously been the worst introduction of low-level and meaningless garbage into this election cycle as has ever been seen. With McCain condoning and even joining in on a lot of it and their not ever offering anything anyone can put any hope into, it is becoming very apparent to everyone (as the polls show) that they can't be given any support; maybe the one good thing that they provide is a lesson on how not to do things.

People like Sarah Palin want babies born regardless of the circumstances of how they were concieved such as incest or rape. Then when they are born she doesn't support any social program which the babies or their mothers would benefit from.

No one has the right to tell a woman what rights she has over her own body or immortal soul- That is between her Minister, Pastor, Rabbi or any spiritual advisor she turns to. If we ban the right of choice to a woman why should we not also enact laws to govern any medical procedures which in many instances could also cover the males. I am strongly PRO CHOICE- You have the right to make decisions about your self- but NEVER interfer with choices

OK first of all of course anything to take the attention off the real issues. Obama is not taking away the right for someone to be Pro-Life, some of the conservatives need to realize that if a person is Pro-Choice that doesn't mean the people who are Pro-Life can't continue to feel that way, continue to have children, or are forced to have a child aborted. IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IN ABORTION DO NOT HAVE ONE. Palin cares so much about children that she's not even around her new born who probably needs her more than anything at this point in it's new life. She's a disgusting person and once again is doing anything to not talk about the issues that America wants to know about. Being Pro-Life, Pro-Choice isnt going to affect gas prices, whether people can stay in their homes, health care, and all the other things that are required for people to live. Lets just get to Nov. 4th so we can elect Obama/Biden.

This woman is sickening.
I have 3 daughters and my eldest daughter was brutally raped 2 years ago. It's difficult still for her. Luckily, she didn't get pregnant by this awful situation. I still cry for her.
Now under Palin if my daughter was to have gotten pregnant she was supposed to have carried this much unwanted baby to term as a reminder of what she had to go through.
I say "SHAME ON YOU SARAH PALIN" You have daughters and I hope what happen to my daughter Never happens to yours, and that makes me more of a christioan than you will EVER be.

These pro-lifers make me wonder about their mental well being.
They care deeply about an embrio, but couldn't give a crap about a child. I wonder if she gives the same amount of money to childrens charities as she does to organizations that force women and girls to have children?..
Then she turns around and receives blessings from a pastor that terrorizes women that he claims are witches. One was chased from her community in Alaska.

She'll need all those children to grow up as soldiers to fight all the new wars she, McCain and the Republicans have planned for our children when they reach draft age. She and her ilk have no quams about killing other people and having other people die for their fundamentalist causes. Palin personifies the "banality of evil" , a phrase used in describing the way Hitler and his followers planned for the millions of deaths they caused to fullfill their sacred mission. But this time, the nuts will have nukes...our nukes.
